Reception

Sadak 2's trailer faced vote brigading owing to the nepotism debate sparked after the suicide of popular Indian actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Speculating that he had despaired of being shut out of the film industry due to favoritism, Rajput's fans blamed Bollywood insiders, including director Mahesh Bhatt and his daughter Alia Bhatt, one of the film's stars, who had spoken dismissively of Rajput.[6] Within two days of its release, the trailer had received 5.3 million dislikes on YouTube.[16] As of 14 August 2020, the trailer is the third most-disliked video on YouTube, with over 10 million dislikes.

Music

The music for the film was composed by Jeet Gannguli, Ankit Tiwari, Samidh Mukherjee, Urvi and Suniljeet while the lyrics written by Rashmi Virag, Vijay Vijawatt, Shabbir Ahmed, Suniljeet and Shalu Vaish.
